Fortunately Mandrake is more than just a business enterprise. Although
it is painful to see Mandrake go through all of this, we all must
remember that Mandrake is a community at its core. As the Mandrake
business attempts to reorganize, developers will continue to communicate
via this list, consumers and businesses will continue to migrate from
other OS's to Mandrake, and club members like myself will continue to
contribute to Mandrake. There will be a significant minority of fair
weather friends who will throw in the towell and be very vocal about it
and that is their privilige. But in the end Mandrake will not only
survive, but thrive. The best thing that folks on this list can do is
look to the future with confidence and return to business as usual
dealing with Cooker issues. Much has been accomplished, but there is
much left to do, and in reality, a promising future ahead for Mandrake
and the Mandrake community.
